Psalm 73 – The Persecution of the Catholic Church

Dec 22, 2013

As the world gets worse each day and as the situation of the Catholic Church has become more disastrous under the pontificate of Pope Francis, it becomes easier to despair that there is no way out of this mess. Humanly speaking, one may be correct; however, we have the promise of Our Lady of Fatima that Her Immaculate Heart will triumph. Our Lady of Good Success brings the same message of hope. Let us never forget then that no matter how bad things get, Our Lord is in total and complete control. When He so decides, His and our Mother will intervene. What we are asked to do in the meantime is to weather this storm by keeping the Faith; the light will shine again one day.

Let us avoid the temptation of falling into Sedevacantism or into the hands of the conciliar church. We must keep on the straight and narrow path as exemplified by the saintly Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, whose memory and mission the SSPX-Marian Corps Toronto carries forward.

A beautiful prayer and meditation at this unprecedented time in history is Psalm 73, which foreshadowed the intense persecution Holy Mother Church is currently undergoing. With the Psalmist, let us cry out to God to take us out of this crisis.
